The Resistance Revival Chorus, which was formed for the Women's March last year as "a collective of more than 60 women who come together to sing protest songs in the spirit of collective joy and resistance," also performed with her.

In 2014, Kesha accused former producer Lukasz (Dr. Luke) Gottwald of rape and emotional abuse spanning a decade of collaboration.

"When I wrote 'Praying,' with Ben Abraham and Ryan Lewis, I just felt as if I had gotten a huge weight off of my shoulders," Kesha tweeted over the weekend.

"It felt like an emotional raw victory for myself, one step closer to healing. I never could have known what would've happened these past few years."

She also thanked her fans after the performance.

"After everything you've done, I can thank you for how strong I have become," Kesha tweeted. "Thank you to the @RecordingAcad, the women on stage with me tonight, and everyone who has supported me through this whole journey."
